Brutally honest review of the ON3 turbo kit for 2005-2010 Mustang GT 3V

[@samuraistang739]

Hey there info on that Spectre air filter…So here’s the scoop…I had an on3 70mm kit on my 09 3v…Ran about 9psi (had a grimm speed manual boost controller)…Anywho, everything was perfectly fine until about 6 months down the road…I had the exact same spectre filter as yours…While cruising about 70mph on the freeway, I heard a slight ‘pop’ followed by a quick whining noise and slight rattle….I instantly pulled over and popped the hood…I didn’t notice anything right away but while diving deeper…The godamn metal top piece of the filter (size of a half dollar) got sucked into my turbo and shredded the hell out of the fins…I had to replace the entire cold side of the turbo…True story so be careful with that filter.

[@TpCustoms]

@@samuraistang739 I will swap it out asap. Thanks for the info.

[@Cherrythe3v]

awesome video bro. i had just uploaded a video about the on3 kit that i just had purchased ab a week ago. Thanks for the tips !

[@TpCustoms]

Good luck man. I hope you enjoy it. I love mine.

[@TpCustoms]

Don’t use those clamps that came with the oil relocation kit. Get better clamps. Trust me. They are trash.

[@RedStang_Sr]

Yeah, the turn signal and intercooler issues might be specific to 2010. the coolant pipe is an issue with the 2005-2006 because they have a different crossover. but good walkaround of the kit. I ran a dumped downpipe like you have for awhile, then just removed that pipe coming over from the wastegate for a little clearance. now i have a front bumper exit and the wastegate just dumps out. My biggest issue is the space on the piping going through the control arm, my stuff still rattles all the time.

[@LordCornholio31]

Man guy you need to make alot of videos on your cars, you will get alot of views, i got a 05 gt kinda want to do something like you did, but right now its my everyday driver

[@TpCustoms]

@@LordCornholio31 I got a few more in the works but I’m remodeling my house right now. Next video is about my next bumper exit exhaust. It’s sick. Thanks bro be safe and thank you.

[@arisaavedra2580]

awesome 3v man! i just got this kit for mine and i wanted to ask what clamps did you use instead of the on3 ones do you have a link?

[@arisaavedra2580]

on the oil filter relocation kit, sorry i didn’t specify

[@TpCustoms]

@@arisaavedra2580 thanks for the comment man and Grats on the kit. I went up to napa and took the clamps with me and had the guy give me some better ones. Wider and much stronger. Ive spoken with on3 personally since this video dropped and they are working on adding new clamps to the kit from the people who make the relocation kit for them. Good luck with the build my friend. Much love.

[@TpCustoms]

@@arisaavedra2580 also. I would personally so with a full ansi fitting set up if able but if not just get bigger and better stronger clamps and you will be fine.

[@Nyc440]

This video was so helpful

[@arturorojas983]

Nice video! I’m doing a budget gt500 clone using an 05’ GT. It’s a 5 speed manual with a Hurst short-throw shifter, 4:10 gears, and CAI with a 91 tune. On 3 seems the cheaper route than sourcing a blower and lower manifold that will fit the 4.6 3V, but we will see with time which one will end up on the 3V.

[@TpCustoms]

Good luck with the build. I’m a fan of clone builds. It’s a good kit overall. I’ve had a blast with it so far. I do love superchargers but this turbo has really pulled me to the boosted side.

[@ericgross3881]

I have a 2.8 kenne bell super charger and DOB super single heat exchanger I’m looking to sell everything but the injectors and fuel pump

[@DirtyDianna]

Got the same setup just the hellion version. Love the Set up and you are right, cant stay off the pedal. Got meth on mine and that same shifter lol. 2010 with ford alluminator crate motor.

[@woodmia]

Good video. Cars sounds good. Headers are hell.

[@TpCustoms]

Ty brother.

[@gkman815]

im gonna guess you lost the blinker cause that kit is designed for the 05-09 one instead of the 10. the older ones had turn signals down in the bumpers instead of in the head light housing

[@TpCustoms]

I think I get a little space once I redo that side of the piping when I build the motor. That foggy headlight is killing me lol.

@@jasonmccarthy820 yes sirrrr

[@dillonb.2048]

What options would you recommend when you go too the On3 performance site? I want a 70mm turbo too get close too my 500whp goal and was wondering what accessories you should add on for the extra price

[@TpCustoms]

@@dillonb.2048 give me a few mins. I’ll take a look and get right back with you.

[@TpCustoms]

@@dillonb.2048 you getting from lethal or from on3?

[@dillonb.2048]

@@TpCustoms thx brotha

[@TpCustoms]

@@dillonb.2048 ok so the only thing you are really going to want to be sure you get with the kit is the welding service for the MAF flange. Then I would call up lethal performance for injectors and a fuel pump for the kit. The fuel pump I got with the kit went out. I don’t recommend anything else. Also, talk to your tuner and ask him to take a look at the options to see if there is something he may need. Other than that. You should be safely get close to what you want. Torque is your enemy on a stock block so don’t put to much boost on stock rods. I’m pretty much at the limit and mine could go at any time.

[@dillonb.2048]

@@TpCustoms thanks! Was thinking some brisk spark plugs too but otherwise makes sense too me. Yeah definitely heavy on the torque part, that why I’m going with a good cam too help keep the hp higher then the torque, appreciate the lightning fast response 🔥

[@helthlopez5770]

Get some brisk racing plugs it will help with the warm up issue , I have a turboed 3v as well

[@TpCustoms]

It’s got some very cold plugs on it now but that’s what my tuner wanted to run. It’s odd. It will even sputter a bit if it’s too cold when I pull out of the driveway, under 2k rpm.

[@dennisbryan7522]

Get a roush bumper they are made with a intercooler in mind. Does the kit include turbo headers?

[@TpCustoms]

@@dennisbryan7522 the kit is designed to run with stock manifolds. So no. It’s a turn back system. I don’t think there is room for a typical turbo header style system in this car.

[@randybass5403]

I have the same set up my on3 oil relocator kept leaking. I have a MMR oil filter relocation kit adapter.

[@TpCustoms]

I will have to get it replaced. This thing is trash. Thanks for the advice.

[@RedStang_Sr]

I don't run a relocation kit on mine at all. just run the STP s2 filter.

[@TpCustoms]

@@RedStang_Sr how tho. My pipe runs right through there and it seems like it would be impossible to swap filters later. I am impressed.

[@RedStang_Sr]

@@TpCustoms you have to remove the cold side pipe from the turbo to swap it. Thats why you use the S2 its a little shorter i believe.

[@justa3v619]

That’s any headers on a 3v. I did longtubes on my 09 and omg had I known what I was getting myself into I woulda left that little 20hp on the table or whatever it was I gained 😂. Really not sure what the longtubes actually gained because I did Howard rattler cams, the ford racing intake manifold, gt500 tb, and jlt cold air intake. And looking back I could’ve just boosted for the price I paid for all the bolt on’s plus the $1000 I put into the nitrous system. Looking back I wish I would’ve just put a set of rods in it and boosted it.

[@TpCustoms]

@@justa3v619 right. Such a pain. And im no pro mechanic. It was awful. Almost burnt the whole car down and walked away, middle fingers up.

[@justa3v619]

@@TpCustoms definitely the worst one I’ve ever put longtubes on. The older 2v mustangs aren’t very fun either and compared to both the s550 headers are a walk in the park 😂

[@3vmonte]

I'm thinking of uploading a video of my on3 kit with some upgrades I made for quality of life that makes it easier to work on lol. On a side note, I had a friend that totalled his car doing 70mph when one of those clamps came loose and made him crash.

[@TpCustoms]

Yeah the clamps are trash. I got lucky. Def upload the video. The more info the better.

Hopefully you have a really good tune,, that TQ number is high for stock bottom end, i bent a rod at 455TQ. What PSI you running?

[@TpCustoms]

6lbs I’m driving it pretty safe bc I know I’m on the brink of blowing it up. Motor is getting fully built in a few months.

[@RedStang_Sr]

@@TpCustoms wow thats good numbers for 6lbs. Wonder if that dyno is reading higher. I hit 447/455 on 8lbs with frpp intake. But it was through an auto on drag radials

[@gforce_117]

My $0.02 is AN fittings with anything oil. Too risky otherwise. I’m slowly installing my kit with a built motor. Engine/subframe on the floor atm. Doing as much as I can before it goes back in. Doesn’t look like I can put their headers on till it’s in the car.(clearance). Really gonna suck ass I feel like. You had to lift the engine to do it? I was able to lift car off with the long tubes still attached. These stick out to the sides so damn far

[@TpCustoms]

I needed you when I was building mine. I’m AN fittings or nothing now. It was so scary and I just knew I lost the motor. Good luck on the build. Tag me in it.

[@gforce_117]

@@TpCustoms now that I have the car back on engine and subframe I see why you had to lift the motor up a bit to get their headers in👌🏻 Yeah I’ll probably post a dyno video or something. Using the 76/75 BMF, should be a ripper.

@@gforce_117 can’t wait. Tag me in the video.

[@theroadjack3437]

How did you do your fuel system? With their provided kit?

[@TpCustoms]

@@theroadjack3437 so the fuel pump I got from them failed after about 20 pulls after this video. I ended up getting a high end pump that matched my injectors. It’s an easy drop in style.

[@gavib09]

How was the fitment of the headers? I have a supercharger with longtubes now but considering switching to a turbo setup.

[@TpCustoms]

The fitment was perfect. Getting them in there was a huge pain in the ass. Worth it over all but damn what a pain
